Gianni Infantino - FIFA President

At FIFA, we have a responsibility to do everything we can to have a real impact. Together with Global Citizen Co-Founder and CEO Hugh Evans and with the commitment, help, support, and passion of legends like Shakira and Kaká, we are embracing an incredible project: the Global Citizen Education Fund. 👏
We believe that football itself is a school of life that teaches discipline, respect, team spirit, and fosters togetherness while also imparting the key lesson of handling defeat and setbacks, among other important values. That is why education and football form a symbiotic relation - and it is why we created the FIFA Football for Schools Programme in 2019.
FIFA is present in 211 countries in the world, more than the United Nations, and through this FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund, we aim to raise USD 100 million during the FIFA World Cup 2026, and go beyond even after the tournament has ended to raise USD 1 billion, because it is for the most important cause of educating children.
This mission drives and motivates us, and we will continue to put all our heart and all our passion into this project. ⚽❤️
